I find it somewhat humorous that anyone plays games on their PCs anymore—after all, doesn’t everyone and their dog have a Wii, a DS, and a pocketful of Tamigotchis and other handhelds?—but there are still some games that need to be played on a good old-fashioned computer.

If you love those, today’s your lucky day! Amazon is offering a whole crop of $1.99 game downloads to celebrate the end of the year.

What a great opportunity to load up a few games for the kids, or to make sure you have something to do on those boring conference calls. (Oh yes. I said it.)
